Identify and Characterize Potential Environmental Risk Factors for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Evaluate Their Impact on ALS Disease Incidence and Progression
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is soliciting investigator-initiated research that will identify and characterize environmental toxicants in human biological samples that may be potential environmental risk factors for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
Applications are also sought that will evaluate the impact of environmental toxicants on the development and progression of ALS, including gene-environment interactions.
Information gleaned from this investigator-initiated research will provide a greater understanding of the possible link between exposures to environmental toxicants and the etiology of ALS.
